 * I have been working on a customized version of the skeleton theme and once I 
   uploaded the site to godaddy I received several error messages. I have tried 
   to fix them but now I have lost navigation in my site. Here are the messages:
 * Warning: Missing argument 2 for register_nav_menu(), called in /home/content/
   15/11729115/html/webi2000/nonprofit/wp-content/themes/library_theme/functions.
   php on line 5 and defined in /home/content/15/11729115/html/webi2000/nonprofit/

   php on line 751
 * and here is the pertinent code from my functions.php page:
    <?php register_nav_menu(
   array( ‘primary’ => ‘Primary Navigation’, ‘footer_menu’ => ‘Footer Menu’ )); ?
   >
 * and the conflicting code from the nav-menu.php, a page I have never worked on:
   
   function register_nav_menu( $location, $description ) { register_nav_menus( array(
   $location => $description ) ); } I do not know what the last page is about it
   has no php delimiters (<? ?>) and I do not know what to make of it.
 * I guess my php code is wrong in my functions.php but I can not figure out why.
 * Does anyone have any ideas?

 * Hi,
 * `register_nav_menu()` registers a single navigation menu. You have to use `register_nav_menus()`
   if you want to register several navigation menus at once.
